Today I'm gonna do something different; instead of a poem or a story, I'm going to write down things to think about when making your character. Members of the Creative Writing Club may notice it's familiar; that's because it's an adaptation of what I found in one of the club meetings. Things I did were modify several questions, and add categories for each set of questions. As well as reordering them.
I'm partly doing this because I'll be gone most of today, and partly because I haven't finished any poetry or a chapter in Watching Time, yet. I apologize for my laziness 😴

So is this for a charcater of watching time or any book?
ReplyDeleteFor anything; it's just a character development questions list. Of course, if you make a Fantasy character, you'll want to ask more questions, or maybe if it's a mystery novel the character'll be in, maybe you need to ask less questions, but just a list of basics most genres need -shrug-
DeleteCool, though. it's really though provoking. :D
DeleteI feel like I remember the phrase, "it's really though provoking", and I'm remembering it because the word "though" is a typo, it should be "thought" :/
DeleteNow I wonder where I've heard that before XD
Oops. Sorry, I'm in a rush. XD
DeleteLol Np, the unknown is just gonna drive me nuts, like it usually does. Hey, at least the unknown is different -shrug-
DeleteIsn't there a phrase that says "curiosity killed the cat"? (; (I actually hate that quote. Curiosity is what makes us human.)
DeleteWell, curiosity did lead to much evil, so it's an accurate phrase, but I find curiosity to be much of who I am :P
Delete...actually, four of my friends, on separate occasions, jokingly predicted curiosity would kill me. I'm inclined to agree lol
I think it's more of curiosity CAN lead to much evil, but yeah, we're both super curious.
DeleteI bet it'll kill both of us.XD
This is actually a really cool idea to post. I think more people than who view your blog would find this extremely helpful. You should send it in to be submitted in the club.
ReplyDeleteIdk, we'll see :)
